If you are looking for an insightful view into the future of Latino political power in North Carolina and the key to winning the 2024 presidential race, you've come to the right place.

Founder of Poder NC Action, and our special guest this episode, Irene Godínez, shares her powerful journey as a 'tobacco-daughter' of Mexican immigrants who grew up in a vastly different North Carolina. Drawing from her family's experience being among the first Latino residents, Irene provides insight to the rapid growth of the Latino community, from migrant workers to political players, and how organizations like Poder NC are building a political home for the state's future leaders. Along with Chuck and Mike, they unpack how Latino voters are reshaping the state's politics, the challenges Latinos face, and the exciting potential our electorate can bring in upcoming elections. Plus, they uncover why North Carolina is a battleground state for more than just its swing voters.

In the latter half of the episode, Chuck and Mike break down the latest Trump vs. Harris debate, where they analyze Harris’s masterful performance, her strategic takedown of Trump, and what it means for the upcoming election.
